Heathcliff, 12-letni Cygan przygarnięty przez ojca Catherine Earnshaw, stał się ulubieńcem pana domu i zaprzyjaźnił się z jego córką. Nie zyskał tylko sympatii Hindleya, brata Catherine, zazdrosnego o przybysza. Gdy stary Earnshaw umiera, Hindley może odegrać się na Heathcliffie za wszystkie upokorzenia. Młody Cygan znosi to w milczeniu, poprzysięgając zemstę. Tymczasem Catherine, w której Heathcliff kocha się z wzajemnością, wychodzi za innego. Cygan znika, aby powrócić po latach z zamiarem wyrównania rachunków. (Cinemax)

A darkly minimalist romantic drama about unhappy love that boasts excellent music, truly strong emotions, above-average performances, and last but not least, solid atmosphere. Unfortunately, the slightly slower pace reduces its attractiveness and audience appeal, so opinions on the quality of this work may vary greatly. But no one can deny the how well the protagonists are portrayed and the director's ability to shoot romance in an old-fashioned way without falling into kitsch and awkwardness.

A good take on a classic literary darker romance. It's not remarkably striking or innovative; it's more of a classic, where the focus is on good costumes and, above all, authentic settings. However, all of that would be pointless if there weren't good acting performances. And they are here in the performances of both main actors.

A struggle between romanticism and rationalism (with respect to the visuals, the filmmakers clearly favour the former) in a setting like that of a gothic horror movie. I don’t doubt that the book still contains valid ideas and can emotionally drain the reader, but this adaptation offers only a highly unsatisfying sampling. Other than trying to help us find our bearings in complex family relationships, which are a bit incestuous and probably slightly necrophilic, the film offers no justification for the double jump into the past or the fact that someone is telling the whole story. The female protagonist’s limitless suffering belongs in melodrama, but it doesn’t fulfil its purpose here. It doesn’t elicit sympathy for Cathy, who sometimes behaves like a toxic bitch toward her loved ones, or for any other female character, as none of them is boldly depicted. It’s even more difficult to figure out Heathcliff, who is depicted as a vile psychopath who isn’t attracted to Cathy by pure feelings but by insane love (and he doesn’t behave nicely toward anyone else). Just try to enjoy a melodrama with mostly unlikable characters who hurt each other and the people who try to help them. Perhaps if I had read the book, I would have seen their actions in a different light, but having only seen this film, all I took away from it was a lot of negative emotions and the memory of vivid landscape shots that would have looked good as illustrations in a book by Byron, for example.
